Rissho University Sports Charter
Sports at universities play an important and indispensable role in the development of students' well-rounded personalities, both physically and mentally, through the development of communication skills and leadership mindsets acquired through physical activity. Sports also have positive value in acquiring correct knowledge about maintaining health and preventing disease.
Furthermore, the behavior and spirit of fair play that arise through sport is consistent with Rissho University founding principles of "truth, justice, and peace." Therefore, each and every student at our university is expected to correctly recognize the significance and social value of sport and contribute to peace in human society by practicing fair play.
This charter defines the university's attitude and basic principles regarding sports in its education, and indicates the ideals and guidelines for the promotion and development of sports.
1. Founding spirit and sports
Observing the rules and acting in a fair manner that respects referees and opponents, as well as the spirit of fair play that promotes one's ability to judge right from wrong and the good use of one's energy and mutual prosperity, are in line with the founding spirit of Rissho University. Our university believes that sports, in which each student can demonstrate their strengths and abilities and compete in accordance with the rules, are one way to achieve this lofty goal.
2. Sports activities at university
Rissho University University regards curricular and extracurricular sports activities as a part of its educational activities. Extracurricular sports activities, which are promoted by students' independent efforts and can be combined with their studies, promote basic social skills and holistic development, provide a place to practice team play and organizational management, and are believed to contribute greatly to the achievement of the university's educational goals.
3. Fostering university identity through sports
We believe that active sports activities and support for them will bring a sense of unity not only to students and faculty, but to all stakeholders that make up Rissho University, and will contribute to fostering the university's identity. Furthermore, we believe that if student sports activities and support for them contribute to the development of sports in Japan, they will also contribute to improving the university's social standing.
4. Promoting universalization of sports
Rissho University University supports students' independent participation in sports and promotes projects related to health promotion, while aiming to create an environment in which all students, regardless of age, gender, or whether or not they have a disability, can enjoy the fun and joy of sports.
5. Contributing to the community through sports
In keeping with its founding principles, Rissho University University will actively engage in activities that contribute to the local community through sports. In addition to extracurricular sports activities, such as the activities of strengthened clubs, the university will utilize its unique sports resources, including facilities, instructors, and athletes, to promote and disseminate a sports culture rooted in the local community.
